Grand Cafe Socks
Description: Schneider Motorradreparatur, or Schneider Motorcycle Repair in English, was a Stuttgart based garage specializing in high-performance motorcycle tuning and repair work. They provided parts and service for all makes and models during their 30-year run, though their specialty was café racers and all out track bikes. As an added bonus, if you couldn’t ride your bike in or were broken down somewhere, they would send out one of their two pickups to give you a lift.
Description: The Catalina Grand Prix was one of the biggest races In the country at the time. It was a 100-mile event held on Santa Catalina Island of the coast of Los Angeles. The 10-mile course was a mixture of road, dirt fire trails, singletrack, and even went through a golf course. Cycle Magazine noted that many of the big AMA national riders skipped Catalina so as not to suffer embarrassment at the hands of Southern California scramble riders who were known to dominate the event.
Description: The Eifelrennen Meisterschaftslauf was an annual motor race held in Germany's Eifel mountain region from 1922 to 2003. In the inaugural race, all vehicles were allowed – cars, motorbikes, and even bicycles with supporting engines. Over 100 entrants showed up to compete in the 10 lap event. The track was not paved, and muddy after heavy rains. In 1924 to 1926, the races for 2 and 4 wheels were held on separate days, and classes were introduced. Still, several fatal accidents happened. Even spectator stands collapsed, caused by stormy weather. The unsatisfying safety situation led to the construction of the Nürburgring circuit in the area, which was inaugurated on Saturday, 18 June 1927. This design celebrates the 1954 event.
